Crate for sleeping at night should always be in the bedroom with their people. Should be close to the bed. I use wire crates and typically have more than one Basenji so the crates are all next to each other, but still in the room we sleep in. If an only Basenji should be next to your bed that that your pup knows where you are and you can dangle your fingers in the crate to assure them you are there. And cover the crate to make it more den like. Agree with a "crate buddy" stuffed big toy... and this crate buddy should only be used in the crate at night. I have never had any of my Basenjis sleep in any other room other then the one I sleep in. I also agree that in a car any dog should be confined in a crate, period.
What is the best basenji puppy collar?

Hey!
I know it is best to have a martingale collar for an adult basenji but do puppies need them as well? and if so where can i find some that fit basenji puppies? I have been looking online for a while and i can not find any for puppies. Does anyone have any good sites they use or know where to get a hold of some. Thank you in advance!

How old is your puppy? What are his/her neck measurements? We were able to find smaller martingale ones in our pet store, a privately owned one.

i do not have her yet, she will be 8 weeks old when i get her which will be the 27 of this month.

You can find smaller martingales if you look on Italian Greyhound sites.

I just use a buckle collar on young puppies, mainly because I want to get them used to wearing one. If their head is large compared to the neck a martingale isn't necessary because it wouldn't be easy for them to back out of the collar.
I switch to a limited slip later on but don't leave them on the dog unsupervised or around the house around other dogs.

I have my puppy now and see that a buckle collar works very well with her. thank you!
